page count of a pdf file

[sonusdream]

i was wondering if there is a way to check for the number of pages of a pdf file without extracting the pages and counting the number of jpg files it generated.


thanks in advance

To get the number of pages in a PDF document, use this command:

• identify -format %n image.pdf

I just tried this and was happy to see the number of pages, however, it was a repeating string of the number of pages.

Code: Select all

$ identify -format %n test.pdf
16161616161616161616161616161616

Any idea how I get this to return just '16'?

Thank you,
David

pdfinfo sample.pdf | grep -a Pages | cut -d : -f 2

Or:

Code: Select all

identify -format %n\n in.pdf |head -n1

Try something like this...

Code: Select all

convert document.pdf -set option:totpages %[n] -delete 1--1 -format "%[totpages]\n" info:
